The Mediterranean Ridge is a geological feature located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is characterized as an accretionary wedge formed by the tectonic interactions between the African and Eurasian plates. This region is notable for its complex geology, which includes a series of underwater mountains, ridges, and deep basins. The Mediterranean Ridge is primarily formed due to the subduction process, where one tectonic plate is forced under another.
